Since GNOME 40 the keyboard layout indicator doesn’t work if the keyboard is switched using a key combination defined in GNOME Tweaks. The indicator does work for key combinations defined through GNOME Setting’s Keyboard Shortcut settings. However, GNOME Settings doesn’t allow one to set Alt+Shift as the key combination layout switching, as it seems to require at least one non-modifier key in every shortcut. This limitation only exists in GNOME Settings GUI and you can work around it by defining the shortcut using gsettings:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Shift>Alt_L']"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source-backward "['<Alt>Shift_L']"
Solved my problem. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you very much for this handy work around.
Thank you very much! I originally achieved the same through Tweaks, but language indicator in Ubuntu 24 was out of synch and I started having issues entering the password, as I didn’t know which language was on at any given time. Your solution here solved my problem. Thank you for taking time to write it up and post!
Solved the issue with the keyboard indicator, ubuntu 24.04/wayland here, my switch combination ctrl+shift though. Thanks a lot!
